We test the most affordable Ryzen 7 series processor, the 1700 CPU will cost you only 329 USD. This units oozes value as the performance is really good. The 8-core processor will be tested on an X370 motherboard.

1700 seems to be the best out of the bunch honestly. Great value.

Thank you Hilbert for the review.
Concerning the CPU-Z benchmark, my stock 7700K (all cores boost to 4.5GHz) scores 2256 and 10129 for single and multicore. Last CPU-Z available version
I would love to validate the results, unfortunately previous tested processors have all been returned to Intel, next to that Intel doesn't seed Benelux press with processor samples anymore hence I cannot update them.
Also considering: your single core results are pretty close, multi-core differ. That tells me that you have a turbo bin on all cores (e.g. not testing at default Intel settings).
E.g. ASUS/GBT boards etc all have a BIOS mode activated at default that make all cores Turbo to say 4.5 GHz (or something higher than default Intel binned frequencies).

In the end it is the same processor yet say a 1800X is binned for better XFR, frequency and voltage ranges. Once tweaked they all consume roughly the same amount of juice. Sure, it might differ 10 maybe 20 watts here and there but that's it.
In my honest opinion, the Ryzen 7 1700 is the best AMD processor value money wise you can get. Give it a proper cooler, clock it at 4.0 GHz or something close to that and never look back. All you need to do is change the multiplier and the motherboards do the rest.
I am making one disclaimer here though, my tweaking results can differ with yours. Yes there will be samples that do not reach 4.0 GHz (albeit I doubt it), but there will also be samples that will go higher. That 4.0 GHz should be a pretty safe estimation for generic tweak results though.
Hilbert, I need help, all ryzen CPUs have unlocked multiplier's, and all of then clock the same (3.9~4.1Ghz), its hard to see any reason to buy the 1700X and 1800X when they achieve the same overclocks, if you put all Ryzen 7 at 4ghz the 1700 will consume more voltage and power then the other two? Thx for the review

Thank you Hilbert for the review.

I think it is fair to have all CPU compared with the same version of CPU-Z to have valid comparison.
Thanks man
